Baker, who is from Wilmington, N.C., was transported to Georgia Regents Medical Center, deputies said. He was alert and conscious when deputies arrived at the scene, but his injury turned life-threatening.

The suspect in the shooting is 20-year-old Xavier Deanthony Cooper, who is also a student at the school, deputies said.

Cooper was taken into custody around 3:10 p.m., according to the sheriff's office. The college was placed on lockdown, while deputies interviewed witnesses and searched the campus. They found Cooper in one of the dorms on campus.
